Al makes a good point... but it got me thinking that a system like this could be tied in to the robot's pneumatic system and you could actively raise or lower the pressure in the system to achieve different ground clearances... when you want to hold position and not be pushed around, just lower the robot frame right down on to the ground!

But regardless of FRC legality, this is a cool project on its own right.
